Airtel Insurance Cover Still Active

Airtel Ghana has assured customers that the Airtel Insurance cover is completely free and Airtel does not charge customers higher tariffs for registering for the policy.

According to Yaw Antwi Boadu, the Value Added Services Manager, Airtel will pay the premiums on behalf of customers in order to help boost insurance cover for its customers in Ghana. Airtel Insurance offers cover for three areas, namely life, permanent accident disability and hospitalization with beneficiaries able to claim benefits of up to GHS2,500 in cover and GH150 in hospital cash.

Mr. Boadu says it is important to dispel the perception that Airtel Insurance comes with increasing tariffs. “The cover is linked to the usage of talk time, and what this means is that the more airtime a customer uses, the higher his insurance cover”, Mr. Boadu said, adding that the package is renewable every month, hence customers are encourage to continue using their Airtel lines to keep enjoying free insurance cover.

Commenting on the insurance product, the National Insurance Commissioner,Miss Lydia Lariba Bawa said the idea is to have a good strategy that will make the mass market in urban and rural areas have access to insurance cover. pointed out that the country’s insurance’s legal framework was good and that in her opinion it is a win-win situation for both the service providers and people at the grassroots level.

Airtel is working in partnership with MicroEnsure (one of Africa’s most e-nnovative companies) as administrators of claims; and Enterprise Life (Ghana’s number 1 insurance company) as underwriters of the insurance.

As one of the most beneficial free mobile insurance products in the world, this offer has far-reaching implications for the Ghanaian population. Any Ghanaian resident aged 18 to 75 qualifies for the cover, making it the most widely accessible insurance cover in Ghana,”
